China now has the most branded coffee shops in the world at nearly 50,000, overtaking the U.S, for the time
Feb.24 2024 06:02 AM

- The Chinese coffee market is experiencing intense competition, with Luckin Coffee and newcomer Cotti Coffee (founded by former Luckin executives) rapidly expanding their store counts and engaging in price wars. Luckin surpassed Starbucks in quarterly revenue for the first time in Q2 2023, while Cotti opened over 6000 stores within a year.
- Starbucks and other premium coffee chains are adopting different strategies, focusing on quality, unique customer experiences, and cautious expansion rather than engaging directly in the price war. Starbucks plans to increase its store count to over 9000 by the end of 2025, focusing on high-quality growth.
- The aggressive expansion and low-price strategies of Luckin and Cotti have led to concerns about sustainability and profitability. Meanwhile, other brands like Manner, Tims, Nova Coffee, and Grid Coffee are seeking differentiation through product innovation or focusing on specific market segments to avoid direct competition with the leading players.
